Gateway COC Youth Camp 2011

We had our camp the middle of July, in Mississippi, at Gulf Coast Bible Camp. It was a wonderful camp experience, Sean did a fabulous job running everything and we had over 80 campers this year. This was a great year! Colin loves camp, he enjoys every minute outside :) The heat and dirt don't bother him, it just bothered mommy! HA! But we had so much fun!! We brought our ipad and Colin watched movies before nap and bed time, he loved being able to do this. I love how big he looks in the above and below pics, man he is growing and time is flying . . . definitely exciting but a little sad . . .tear!

One day during lunch it started storming, which put a kink in our nap time. So we improvised to stay dry and make it to our cabin for naps ;>) Colin watching Hercules before nap and actually napping.

Below are Colin's many ways of entertaining himself ;>)

Dirty enough???
This year at camp the boy would get soooo dirty, I starting calling him Pigpin. Still cute though!!

Colin enjoying some "Good Morning Camp" fun and activities with Jo Jo!

Colin hanging with Mr. Carl and Colin swinging with Dee :)
Thanks Dee for coming and helping with Colin, it was nice to have a break every once and a while!!

Seeing his daddy on stage with a mic so much makes CMW think he needs to talk in the mic, too ;)

Colin and mommy playing with sidewalk chalk and bubbles, keeping ourselves entertained during bible classes.

Listening to music with daddy, whatever daddy does Colin has to do to! He is his daddy's boy, no doubt about it!

Colin loves John William and John William loves Colin. Thanks JW for playing with CMW so much!!

Sean does a great job being the director of our camp, he is totally awesome at what he does! God has truly gifted Sean for youth ministry. I love you honey!

Shauna, Mary Beth, and Sean hanging out after lunch.
Caroline, Me, and Shauna were volleyball refs every night after dinner, it has become a tradition :) We love volleyball!

One of the things we did for some fun was ride the golf cart. Colin loved this so much! It was a good way to get a break from walking for those of us who are pregnant, and it is just fun to drive those things, especially on the rough camp grounds :>) Colin rode with Mommy and Dee many times, Daddy, and Big Daddy (Steve Hancock)

So I mentioned the heat already, and what other way to beat it than to enjoy some popsicles :) which we did every day!!!

We also went swimming or played in the kiddie pool, totally up CMW's alley! It was hot and we had to cool off so how. I love the pic below, Colin looks so big swimming around. We usually had our own private swim time before lunch, it was nice having the pool to ourselves. Normally we would have swam with the girls, but that was always during Colin's nap, so we altered our swim time :>)

Colin and Jane having fun!

I am sure you can tell from a lot of these pictures that my son has figured out how to "cheese!!" He is really good at it :)
